The project has generated considerable interest among silent film buffs. However, to reach a wider audience, through television, DVDs and digital downloads, I need to create a highly polished and technically precise production, for which I lack the necessary resources.
Your donations will contribute to the following:
​
-
Hiring a composer to create and record a score for the finished reconstruction.
-
The purchase and licensing of additional Cleopatra stills from archives, collectors and other sources, as some archives charge $100 per image or more.
-
The surviving film clip of is badly scratched and needs to be restored, which will be costly.
-
The construction of a website which will promote Lost Cleopatra and help find missing stills by publicizing the project, and search out additional stills for lost films for possible reconstruction.
-
Hiring researchers who can comb through remote archives and perhaps uncover additional remaining stills.
-
The creation of additional stills to represent scenes that are missing photographic representation, using image elements of existing stills. Moreover, some badly damaged stills require extensive photo editing.
-
The arranging of DVD extras, including additional films and a DVD commentary.
